Which pair of numbers have a gcf of 7?

choose all answers that are correct.

a.

21 and 3

b.

7 and 14

c.

7 and 1

d.

28 and 7

A GCF is the greatest common factor. It is the largest number that fits into other numbers. A seven cannot fit into a number smaller than itself, that doesn't work. Try to fit 7 into a smaller number like 4, it doesn't work.

Option A is 21 and 3 and Option C is 7 and 1. Those can be eliminated because 7 is larger than 3 and 1.

Option B is 7, 14. 7 Is the largest number that goes into 7 and it goes into 14. So B works.

28 and 7 is Option D. 7 is the largest number that goes into 7 and it goes into 28, so D works.
